CIA exceeded authority it was given

Lecturer Malcolm Jorgensen discusses the US Senate Committee’s report on the Central Intellegence Agency's use of torture, saying that the shocking details reveal that the organisation exceeded its authority but felt justifed in doing so by the government's rhetoric about 'extraordinary times'.

Malcolm Jorgensen was awarded his PhD in United States Foreign Policy and International Law in 2015, as the US Studies Centre's first resident doctoral candidate. Jorgensen is a former lecturer, tutor and research associate of the Centre. He is now a research fellow of the Kolleg-Forschergruppe Berlin Potsdam Research Group at Humboldt University, Berlin
